Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) taught us four phrases to say in the morning and in the evening: 'O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in my religion and my worldly affairs. O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and self-sufficiency. O Allah, I ask You for a beneficial knowledge, a pure provision, and accepted deeds.' He (peace be upon him) said: 'If you say these in the morning, you have fulfilled the thanks of your day, and if you say them in the evening, you have fulfilled the thanks of your night.'
